*P values showed that survival rate and mortality was different between these three types of hospitals, and the incidence of IVH was higher in the maternal hospital. ELBW: Extremely low birth weight; BW: Birth weight; IVH: Intraventricular hemorrhage; PVL: Periventricular leukomalacia; ROP: Retinopathy of prematurity; NEC: Necrotizing enterocolitis; BPD: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
